We all know whats up with United, and recently United has stated it will no longer pay the incredible fees per departure for its regionals which means lower profits for airlines such as Skywest, ACA, and CHQ.
Secondly Skywest seems to be toying with larger aircraft such as the 737 or 717, which are unable to fly as a part of the UAL or DAL ticketing system. While it seems to be the popular view on these forums to fly the biggest thing you can find, this news means risk.
Comair is a sure bet, however. The potential to retain your flying job is good, however you'd be stuck in CVG and flipped off by juvenile Delta pilots. There is talk of a base in ATL and SLC next year, but then again, there was also talk of DFW this year, which won't happen; can't predict a new base with certainty.
However the UAL situation gives the edge to Comair, especially with talk of dwindling UAL contract revenues and a SLC base for Comair.
After all of that, I'd suggest doing some hard-core research for yourself. Don't believe what you hear on these boards until you can back the info for yourself (The article regarding UAL paying ACA and Skywest less for departures can be found in the USA Today Money Section on Tuesday February 25th.) Also, you'll notice in all "which airline should I go to" threads in the last few months is an upset Delta pilot who swears no Comair pilot will ever fly for Delta.
